Gives them the ability to compete in the "exclusives" market. I put that in quotes because we know those games will be made available to PC as well.

Seems fair to say that most gamers won't own both consoles though. Timed exclusives seems bad for most gamers, especially if it's geared to get people to buy their consoles. I understand making a game exclusive for your console, but timed doesn't seem like something to get excited over or something to encourage. To be fair I don't follow the console wars that closely so I could be missing out on something.
Borderland 3 made their game exclusive for the Epic Games PC store which was dumb and did nothing for the consumer.
